Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier mixing.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree.
Step 3
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Step 5
Mix on low speed initially to combine the dry ingredients with the cream cheese mixture, then increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2-3 minutes until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices to your preference, if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the pumpkin cream cheese to a serving bowl or airtight container.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately if preferred.
Step 9
Enjoy the pumpkin cream cheese spread on bagels, crackers, or as a dip for fruit!
